E.A.T. World

I love this idea. I've been a little lazy about coming up with interesting food lately - there was even a four day stretch last week of rice and lentils or beans every night, where I felt so much like the vegan stereotype...even though I think rice and lentils can be awesome.

Enter the E.A.T. World project! I just found this over at River's excellent The Crafty Kook , with an amazing introductory voyage to a sidewalk cafe in Austria. The rules, such as they are, are covered over there. In summary (and this is the best thing) there really aren't any rules. It's just a cool way to encourage everybody to try out recipes and inspiration from all over the world, with an alphabetical theme. There are even cool logos to use. I hope this spreads all over the place - it's a wonderful idea, and I can't wait to go travelling with you all!

I'm so glad you're on board, Mike! Thank you for joining, I have a feeling that we're all going to have lots of fun with this series. You captured the essence of E.A.T World so perfectly! Isn't that logo awesome? If Becks hadn't created the logos we would be stuck with some ugly disaster that I would have designed myself.

I can't wait to see what you cook up! Thank you again for joining and for supporting E.A.T World! See you somewhere around southeast Asia! :-)

Wow, I completely agree that your baked goods look beautiful. Like in a magazine! Blogging is kicking me these days, so I might have to just think highly of other participants from the sidelines, but this is a great idea!
